kolasaab Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I dont if this has been discused already on here but it is something that has puzzled me lately and i was wondering if any of you could throw any light on the subject. I was in samui last april talking to 2 guys who own a bar/rest/accomadation. I said to them , can you work here on a retirement visa and both said yes you can. Anyway i thought it sounded a bit dodgy/ illegal and thought no more about it. In nov i was at a ex-pats meeting in pattaya and talking to the audience was a guy who owns key visa co in jomtien and he talked about getting a work permit on a retirement visa. All the people in the audience looked at each other and one guy put his hand up and said, I didnt think you could get a work permit on a retirement visa?? and the guy said yes you can and in fact its the easiest way to obtain one. I know its says on the visa site that you are not allowed to work on a retirement visa but well im confused??? I did try to speak with the guy afterwards , but thats for members only. so, what do you think??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I did not think a retirement visa would allow you a work permit. A bit of an oxymoron if you ask me. You might be better off having this moved to the Thai Visa, residency, work permit forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
